Process planning and production scheduling play important roles in manufacturing systems. In this paper we present a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) scheduling model, that is to say a slot-based multi-objective multi-product, that readily accounts for sequence-dependent preparation times (transition and set up times or machine changeover time). The proposed scheduling model becomes computationally expensive to solve for long time horizons. The aim is to find a set of high-quality trade-off solutions. This is a combinatorial optimisation problem with substantially large solution space, suggesting that it is highly difficult to find the best solutions with the exact search method. To account for this, the hybrid multi-objective simulated annealing algorithm (MOHSA) is proposed by fully utilising the capability of the exploration search and fast convergence. Two numerical experiments have been performed to demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed algorithm.
